This is a very subtle styling cue that harkens back to the Coachbuilt 1930s luxury behemoths.

Two mistakes made with this car: 1. A sedan equivalent should have been made wiht unique Rocket-style vertical tail lights. 2. Never should have been dropped.

I don't like the RS front ends all that much. They look busy and kind of awkward. Semi-gloss black is the way they were meant to look.

Jamaca Plain Hwy, Summer of 1996, 3am: I'm ridding shotgun with my buddy Mike in his Tan/Brown two tone 1979 Chevrolet Citation. We pull up to a red light and soon a shiny-new mid 1990s Taurus SHO pulls up next to us. Light turns green Taurus shirps tires and walks away from us by about tow car lengths... the thing is Mike is nucking futs and refuses to bakc down... everytime the Taurus drops his speed down ot safe levels in the turns Mike gets around him wiht all four tires squalling and the spedometer stuck at 70mph in a 35. About 2 miles later we're at another red light. Taurus guy rolls down his tinted side window and gives mike a genuie thumbs up. On that exact same stretch of road a college student fro the Middle East lost control of his Porsche 928 a few years ago and sliced it in half against a tree. It's as close as you can get to a road through the Black Forrest without leaving the suburbs of Boston. Speed limit 35-40 they say Porsche kid was probably going about tripple that. Guess he had soe real driving skills but still not enouhg to overcome his cockyness. I'd tell you a million stories of drag racing and retard-heroism on the streets of New England in my 1968 deathtrap. The most impressive car I've ever left in the dust was a Porsche Boxter... but not 0-100 or anything like that. I pulled up next to one on the higway... at abotu 75mph the two hot MILFs inside were looking pretty good. I smilled and goosed it and they tried to keep up but I walked away from them like they were stuck in 2nd gear. By the time I realized I was headed down the road to a suspended license I slowed down from the 120 or so I was doing... it all happened on a semi-busy highway at like 6/7pm.

Not an SS or a Z/28 but a 327 Coupe with a few options. Also the six cylinder F-bodys were all Inline sixes for the first decade... All first gen Camaros wiht a six-banger got the stovebolt six successor of the time while all 6-cylinder firebirds had OHC Inline Sixes that were very cutting edge at the time. (I doubt Toyota or Honda had OHCs in the mid-to-late 1960s) http://www.hemmings.com/images/dealers/sho...es/C54321-2.jpg 1965 clay: Still the "Panther" 1967 MY (Grumpy Jenkins) 1968 MY 1969 Yenko Super Camaro 427 B) Note to Mustang: Bow down B1tch! 1970.5 anyone else prefer the non-RS 70-72 cars? Split bumper is a bit awkward for me. http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1970-197...sy-1280x960.jpg

Yup... that's waht caught my eye. I normally hate people who cut off a car's front or rear in a photo but this one was too cool to not use for a sig. I love the Vista Roofs on some cars and hate them on others. This is most certainly a Vista Roof that I would love... just the rarity of it is cause for preservation. As far as the weird vibe of the photo: B-pillar has a Mopar look to it, the front fenders have a hint of '62 Skylark becasue of the strange lighting and it looks like the photo as taken with a wide angle lens. Moltar! Where have you been buddy? Have not seen you around in a couple weeks. :)

Well as it stands I've got stock 16s on the STS, stock 14s on the Datsun, stock 15s on the CoupeDeville and 14s on the front of the Camaro and 15s on the rear. The crumpled Volvo has stock rims too... 14s I think.

Gives the Aztek a run for it's money in the weridness dept. but damn is it cool. GUN RACKS i the fenders and LIQUER in the dash!!!! :metal: Just in case your attempts to get smashed conincide with a fu*king safari!

Still better than a car called Excell that has never excelled in anything except for sucking. I for one think they shuld have stuck with "Panther" as the car was called fro 1965-early 1966 but whatever. The y even made the darned emblems before the name change occured. A Panther CAN eat a pony for lunch so it's perfect. A rose by any other name....

Just for that get your truck stuck in one of those HUGE mountains of snow in the corner fo the mall parking lot... you know the ones the big CATEERPILAR bulldozer stacks up. The call her on the cell phone and tell her how you got 20 feet up the side of it before the rear axle sunk into the snow so deep your bed is not visible form the cab anymore. When she starts to yell and cuss tell her: "Well I was going to take a horse into work and russle up some cattle but I decided to take your advice and act NOTHING like a cowboy. This is what I call Punk 17-year old with 4x4" I'm sure laughter will ensue. :lol:

Razor: Yes, very ture.... it does have a sinister and very diabolical attitude to it. Very Spooky. Those lower fins (Skegs) just make it so over-the-top and zany that my heart skips beats when I see this car. I mean damnit... Chryslers's fins got wacky and huge in 57-60 so Cadillac was like "We can't win on size alone people let's hear some ideas on how we can bitchslap the competition, any suggestions for crazy fins?" --some guy in the back of the room-- "Uh, yeah... instead of two fins we need FOUR and have the lower two mounted in the rear quarter panel like somekind of switchblade knife. That will show those Pansy-Assed boys at Chrysler." --evil laughter fills the room--

Very true... It starts to make sense at about 12" or so not 6". Just because I don;t need a 6 door funeral coach does not mean I would spend all kinds of money to get enough extra room to give me a tiny amount more legroom and enough etra space for a kid's lunchbox.

All I want is a nice Sig or Glock handgun... and a Shotgun. Someday I want to make my own style of Jackson Pollock painting. It goes like this: 1 Twelve Gauge 1 giant pumpkin (or watermellon) 3 gallons of Pig's blood 1 white bed sheet 8x8 feet Hang up sheet in the woods. Hollow out pumpkin and fill up with pig's blood. place in front of sheet. Have fun. :) The spatter and chunks on the sheet will make for a real conversation piece if you hang it in your Living Room. Now I must go... the voices in my head say it's time for more rally raing in the snow. The RWD Datsun awaits.

Yup... now I'm not an interior fanatic like so many others but if I was going to obsess with something on the inside of the car, the dash would be it. When I sit in a 1959 Buick, 1962 Cadillac or even a basic and "cheap" 1963 Plymouth there's a lot of eye candy. But even the nicest new Lexus is just a combination of flat black and some chrome touches... nothing to go nuts over.

Starchief Safari Bonneville Tempest LeMans Grand Prix Catalina GTO Firebird Trans Am Sunbird Grand Ville Parrisienne Ventura Grand Am Sunfire Phoenix TranSport Torrent T1000 J2000 6000 Vibe G6 SV6 Which list sounds better? Seriously they had like a dozen great names to choose from but they go wiht G6 instead??? WTF? Why kill of your best selling model name, it'd downright idiotic?

DP.... nice. :lol:

THANK YOU!!! Also... Razor: Agreed 100%. A guy on a motorcycle rear ending is a recipie for disaster.... the fin is just the cherry on top of the cake. Balthazar: I agree 100% wiht everything in your post. That being said I'll tkae a funky CTS rear tail light treatment over no effort at all. It does kind of hint at something sharp and has a certain appeal to it. Better than taht pale-imitation of a 3-series Bimmer Lincoln LS wiht Mitsubishi tail lights.

Funny you should say that.... just the otehr day I walked into KB Toys and walked off with two AWSOME hot Wheels cars. The first one was a 1969 Corvette ZL1 in Daytona Yellow (they made one white and one yellow one.... that's it) more on that later. The other one was a Cadillac Sixteen in white diamond pearl. Needless to say I walked into the house that night and told Marcia: My top two favorite hot wheels cars of all time have now been bumped to No. 3 and 4. Seriously go get it. I've only found one other Zl1 but I got three more pearl Sixteens. I love them damn things. :wub:

BTW: Ball of yarn: $1.88 at Wal*mart :AH-HA_wink:

One HUGE differance: In the year 2030 a C6 Z06 in decent shape will be worth millions after inflation... but six Aveos will be worth about as much as a ball of Yarn. If there is even six Aveos left in this world by then.... they'll most likely all be crushed and recycled into Ford Focuses.

funny... :D

I love my scotch, scotchy-scotch scotch SCOTCH! [/anchorman] Never seen this, never read about it, never even heard about it. Cool post! :)

Yes it did... but it was worht every penny. For $7000 you could have bought two Mustang GTs... but those would be worth about $15,000 in mint condition these days while the ZL1 is worht $850,000 mint

This is about 3 years old but it still puts a smile on my face. :P

Ronin II :D
